Answer and Explanation:
12. The water has a lower osmotic pressure than the cell sap of the root hairs. Due to the osmotic difference water is drawn by osmosis across the cell wall and cell membrane into root hairs. Water moves by osmosis into adjacent cortex cells and their osmotic pressure is lowered drawing water by osmosis. Water passes to the successive cortex cells and through the endodermis to the xylem vessels. At the leaves, the xylem passes into the petiole and then into the veins of the leaf. Water leaves the veins and enters the cells of the spongy and palisade layers.
13. Food and other manufactured material are translocated by the phloem. They enter the sieve elements through plasmodesmata connecting them to adjacent companion cells which are sites of high metabolic activity. The manufactured food are translocated through sieve tube along the cytoplasmic strands.
The correct answer is high, low.
Arteries are part of the circulatory system and are responsible for carrying blood away from the heart and around the body. The arterial blood is oxygenated and this process ensures that every tissue around the body will receive oxygen and nutrients through this blood flow.
Veins are also part of the circulatory system and are responsible for carrying the deoxygenated blood from the tissues back to the heart.
Venous pressure is much lower than the arterial pressure. More specifically, venous pressure ranges from 5 to 8 mmHg, while arterial pressure ranges from 15 to 30 mmHg.

This structure is called the epiglottis. This flexible leaf-shaped cartilage serves as a flap that covers the larynx to prevent food and liquids from entering the airway and the lungs. It is open when we breathe which allows air to enter into the larynx.
